Frank, I thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. This poem was a children’s poem written from a child’s point of view. All my children’s poetry is from a child’s point of view.
Thank you for saying that, Rod. Little Amity was so broken at the loss of her grandmother and she made writing it a labor of love for me after she told me all about her gramma. When I gave her the finished poem, she hugged me and it was such a sweet moment.
So tender and sweet. I wear an apron when I cook. And when I do my stain glass. My youngest grandson 9 loves it when he comes over and sees me wearing it, because he knows I will end up baking cookies for us.
Awww, that’s so sweet, Kathleen. You’re making a memory for him.
There’s just something so homey and comforting about a “Gramma” Apron. I remember my Gramma’s apron, too. She always had homemade caramels in her pockets for us. I used to love hearing her stories about growing up.
Substack needs more poetry like this, with rhyme and meter, even if relaxed a bit. Easy and delightful to read. Thank you.

Yes, I could sense that. That’s what makes it so appropriate.
It’s such a beautiful remembrance and a look into the magic of grandmothers everywhere, C.J.
